Mike Wild, editor of the magazine of the same name, has compiled a selection of new material to complement the magazine, making this an attractive end-of-year purchase for all modelers. The features will inform and guide and include how-to features, fantastic images of the best layouts, modeling tips, articles about the history of the railways etc appropriate for all the popular scales.

Providing useful information about scale, relevance, operation and much more, it offers all modellers a detailed guide to a subject which can be confusing but which, if got right, will greatly enhance the appearance and authentic look of any model railway. Profusely illustrated throughout, this third title in the new "Aspects of Modelling" series, will be of use to all modellers, irrespective of the scale in which they are working.

The resurgence of interest in the railways of Ireland has resulted in the appearance of more Irish layouts at model railway exhibitions. Modelling an Irish scene is more challenging than embarking on yet another layout of a GWR branch terminus, but as this book demonstrates, it is not beyond the prowess of most modellers and can provide a great deal of interest and fulfilment.Individual chapters look at how to create both broad and narrow gauge layouts with information provided on how to modify proprietary items, where to find kits and on scratchbuilding. Layout plans offer a range of ideas, based on prototypes, from a simple single track station to more complex junctions and locations where both broad and narrow gauge lines converged to create a mixed gauge layout.Fully illustrated throughout, this is that rarity, a railway modelling book which covers genuinely new ground and offers modellers a fresh direction in which they can channel their expertise.

Railway modelling is as popular as ever today. Its diversity and richness of interest - often with a degree of nostalgia - make the hobby the ideal antidote to the stresses of modern life. This book, a completely new version of Norman Simmons' long-lived "Railway Modelling", first published in 1972 and updated through eight editions, is the ideal companion for today's railway modeller, as it combines traditional modelling techniques and advice with full details of all the new technology that has transformed the hobby in recent years. There can be no better handbook for any model railway enthusiast, novice or expert.

This book is the second title in a new series, Realistic Railway Modelling, written by a highly regarded expert. Aimed at really keen modelers who want to learn how to achieve the highest standards, this all-color book, packed with photos and diagrams, provides the very last word in detail in seven themed chapters.
